Sugar Activity Packaging Guidelines
These guidelines are for packaging Sugar activities. Sugar is the core of the OLPC Human Interface.
Makrot
Sugar looks for its activities in two fixed locations, which are defined in sugar-toolkit with rpm macros:
Architecture Independent (noarch):
%global sugaractivitydir /usr/share/sugar/activities/
Architecture Dependent:
%global sugarlibdir %{_libdir}/sugar/activities
Necessary BuildRequires
All Sugar Activities use setup.py, which is dependant upon sugar-toolkit. Accordingly, all activities need to:
BuildRequires: sugar-toolkit
Architecture-specific Activities
All activities containing compiled code (thus, architecture-specific) must be built in the %build section. Any architecture-specific bits must either go in %{_bindir}
%{_libdir}
or %{sugarlibdir}
as appropriate.
Runtime Dependencies
All runtime dependency information MUST be manually added. There is no build time detection for Sugar activities.
Sample SPEC
Name: sugar-journal Version: 79 Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: Journal for Sugar Group: Sugar/Activities License: GPL-2.0-or-later URL: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Journal Source: journal-activity-%{version}.tar.bz2 Source1: sugar-journal-checkout.sh BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) BuildRequires: python sugar-toolkit Requires: sugar BuildArch: noarch %description The Journal activity provides an intuitive interface for viewing projects and files saved by the XO user. Activities that the user has stopped will show in the journal view with a timer showing how long ago they were stopped. %prep %setup -q -n journal-activity-%{version} %build %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sugaractivitydir} ./setup.py install $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{sugaractivitydir} %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %doc NEWS %{sugaractivitydir}/Journal.activity/ %changelog * Fri Apr 04 2008 Dennis Gilmore <dennis@ausil.us> - 79-1 - Initial packaging
